Ek Actor Aisa Bhi – Sonu Sood

Sonu Sood the Punjabi Puttar of course hails from a Punjabi family. He has worked in Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu movies apart from being connected with bollywood. His father is a businessman and his mother is an English-History professor. By the way, do you guys know that he is an engineer? This is quite disgusting that even after having a professional degree you want to step into an entirely different career just because of the reason that you love being famous. Seems like same happened with Sonu.



Sonu has worked in several hindi movies like Aashique Banaya Aapne, Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi (his much hyped movie with another unsuccessful actress Isha Kppikar!)Sonu Sood has worked in several Tollywood movies also. Recently he broke his long Punjabi nose while shooting. He got two fractures in his nose and is surviving on pain killers these days.

The outcome of only four or five movies decides that whether one is gonna be a successful actor or not but seems like Sonu is constantly denying the result of his movies. May be he should start a production house of his own which is a booming business these days in Hindi cinema or he should start appearing as a judge in various talent shows on television! What say!

His career keep on moving with a slow pace and he got several movies afterwards including Salam Namaste, Aaja Nachle, Mohabbatein etc. But all these movies could not win him the fame that he expected from Bollywood.



Jugal's slow career has got two reasons behind it. The first one is that he needs to do a lot of work on his acting skills and secondly he does not have a filmy background so he needs to do a comparatively difficult struggle. So jugal, just keep on trying because slow and steady wins the race! Ok?
